I would put questions to yourself before the business card.

1. What is your goal?

2. Who are you? Are you a designer? A drafter?

3. Who are your potential clients? Builders? Homeowners?

4. Do you have design training (or ability)?

5. Do you have an attorney for your business? (This is the only person who should write a contract. You need a contract.)

6. Do you have a web presence? You don't have to have your own website these days. You could set up a HOUZZ  or Facebook page to showcase your work.

7. Do you have the time to take on new clients or are you busy building (general contractor)?

Building design and drafting

M-U-N-T-I-N!  You say tomato, I say avocado. Mullions divide windows. Muntins divide pieces of glass within a window. PSA out.

My Templates show as 4/5/16. You might need to delete your X8 Beta data folder? Check this path----->

New Plan points to your Template plan that you designate.

You need to update your template plan file. I believe you are opening a template file that was from Beta. Go to File --> Templates --->New Template From plan file, once you open a plan it will prompt you regarding associating this as your new Template file. This should lock it into the new plan file.

If you hit the red circle all displayed layers will move to the top of the ALDO.

Like Michael said, Mike, no.

Mike, that is a great idea.

Anyone remember Carnac The Magnificent (sp.)? The great Carnac knows all, and is pretty sure you need to snap that landing to the corner of the stairs.

Oh Math. How you vex me so.

Dan, use this method for testing: Start writing and spend at least 5 minutes with the "Reply to this topic" open, then hit "More Reply Options", add an image file then try to post. This is the typical scenario where the world loses connection to my infinite wisdom (if only that Brexit post had gone through....)

P.S. I am using Firefox.

Outside corners are the great nemesis of Material Regions. Look to a different solution.

Like Joe said, showed....

I can toggle those off! Thanks. The only time I use those is by mistake and usually followed by a loud, WTF.

I have hired out of town engineers when I was pretty confident field observation would not be needed. Jared may be willing to travel to the East Bay.

I generally just draw an arrow from the switch and put it on the Electrical Connections Layer. I add the "3" to the switch manually.

You probably want to post your .plan file to get anything but wild guesses for that question.

I have had that happen from time to time. Like Micheal, if I get too wordy Chieftalk edits me down to a lost post. I had an amazing diatribe going the other night lost to the ether.

It just got easier. I did a screen grab of this tree and brought it directly in as the image file. I bumped the transparency in the plant information to 2%.

See images. What I do for the dog walker is to take an image into Photoshop and cut out what I don't want to see to create transparency. I did the same thing with one of the trees from the bonus library. It was a bit time consuming to cut out the holes in the center of the tree but it really only took a few minutes. I could create a fair library of these in 45 minutes. I just use a basic 2d plant and replace the image with my own.

Currently I just draw cad lines and then delete them. Except for the cad lines I don't delete and then notice them after printing and then slam my fist on the keyboard and then order a new keyboard from Amazon.
